Great Day

Uploaded: August 26, 2007

Description

Flaotplanes are cool, nothing beats a flight over the countryside and landing on a small lake. If you have never done it, try it.
Enjoy life.
Sincerely
Shahn

Nice work on this image, Shahn. I have flown in one of these planes on a wilderness canoe trip. You're right. It's a cool experience.

Great shot. I like the spray of water from the pontoons and the reflection on the lake. #4783563

Super shot! Great colors, timing and composition.

Nice kit also, that 300mm 2.8 must be a joy! #4814049

Shahn Torontow September 20, 2007

Thanks everyone for checking my gallery out and all of your nice comments. The 300mm 2.8 is awesome but at 8.3 pounds on really hot days it's a bear carrying it.
Take care.

Shahn,
First where do you live to get all these shots?
I agree with the above because this is great POV and timing as well as just a beautiful shot!
It's on my list to do!!

A terrific shot, Shahn! Great POV, timing, reflections and colors. I rode one of these to the Dry Tortugas from Key West a few years back and the ride was awesome. #4997381

Shahn Torontow October 29, 2007

Thanks Mike
Funny name "Dry Tortugas", Do you think when they named it they thought people might think it's wet if the called it "Tortugas".
Shahn #5002202

Mike D. Perez level-deluxe October 29, 2007

It's funny because I am not aware of a "Wet Tortugas". It is called dry because there is no fresh water there. All the water and provisions had to be shipped in to the Fort there. #5002218

Shahn Torontow October 29, 2007

Very interesting Mike, I never would have thought about "fresh water", thanks for clearing that up for me.
Take care.
